Adidas Prime X2 Strung

[@kkma1453]

I ran my first 10K run with it today - hit a new PB. Its softer and more bouncy than the ASICS Superblast. Its very stable and I was still going strong at the end. It helps protect you through your training I feel and you will inevitably hit PBs with two carbon fibre plates and 50mm of stacked foam!

[@kofuzi]

Congratulations on the Pb!

[@michaeldominic2070]

I'm loving the new Prime X2! A great fun training shoe for eating up miles and protecting the legs!

[@scamer95]

I’ve been absolutely loving the ASICS superblast for all my Long runs and long “quality” workout runs. It’s simply the best at those longer distances! I’ll only typically wear them for anything that is 1.5-2.5 hrs long

[@gidgiddoni9919]

Wow, your recommended big shoe rotation is my rotation. I’ve used my New Balance More V4 (easy runs), Prime X2 (tempo and intervals) and today wore Saucony endorphin elite at my local 5k Parkrun (48year old 23:30)all this week. These are my three favorite shoes after trying dozens. I love the Prime X2, I have bad knees and a bad back with ankylosing spondylitis which can be one of the most unkind diseases. These shoes make running easy and painless. Earlier today I was pondering if I had to pick just one shoe I’d go with the Prime X2. I also have the Prime1s and although I’ve always had strong legs and no stability problems at all in the Prime1 for some reason I’m still enjoying the 2s more. The added weight doesn’t bother. My PB in my local 5k parkrun has actually been in my PrimeX2 and not the endorphin elites. And on easy days the prime X2 feel like they leave my back and knees a little bit more refreshed than the MoreV4. Also I’m rocking the pink superblasts, they are great, but I like wearing them more as my everyday ‘’lookin good’’ shoe. My wife loves running in her superblasts, even today at our parkrun. Also I tried the new balance fuel cell v2 for 1 hour on a easy run (same colorway you had in your hand) and they absolutely murdered my knees last week. Those shoes I’m returning. I was hoping they would be an upgrade on the morev4, definitely not.

[@alexkhan2000]

Good balanced review and I pretty much agree with everything you say, Mike. I haven't tried the PX OG but have multiple pairs of the PXS and it's been my favorite road running shoes since I first got it late last year. I hoarded several more pairs when Adidas had it on half-price sale during the holiday season and it'll be a while before I wear them out, even after over a thousand miles on them so far. There was a lot of hype around PX2S after The Running Event late last year and then a letdown due to the weight gain and then a bunch of negative reviews after the "leak launch" in early-August. So, my expectations were tempered but I knew I had to get it. Initially, I definitely didn't like it as much as the PXS v1, but it started growing on me after a few runs, especially after a long run. Now I've got nearly 140 miles on the PX2S and I like it at least as much as v1 but for different type of running: long cruises. The v1 is exhilarating and makes me go fast - often faster than I'd like to for the long runs. The v2 also has this characteristic but it feels good and stable at slower paces. It isn't as crazy bouncy and propulsive as v1 but isn't far off and is more controllable; the fun factor is still there in spades. Now I can enjoy the long cruises without having to be so conscious about stability when turning corners, jumping on/off sidewalks, dodging potholes and cambered surfaces, and going fast downhill like I did with v1. The improved stability makes it feel more like a "normal" stack height (i.e., around 40mm) shoe. As you say, it doesn't have the chaotic and excitement factor of v1, but I do think it's better for moderate-to-slow pace long runs. And, yes, you can still go very fast with it, which is surprising considering its weight. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the PX2S. It could do a lot of things well although there are better options for speed workouts, races, and easy/recovery runs. For me, it's the fun factor that puts the PXS v1 and this version in a category of their own. There is simply no other shoe quite like it.

[@kalvin.]

I will absolutely be getting this shoe - when it goes on steep discounts like V1 did. Love my Strung V1, but maybe because I got it for under $150. This shoe seems to be a heavier more stable and palatable rendition, which I actually look forward to getting to take some miles and wear off my V1.

[@twanphan7467]

The one thing that needs to be mentioned is that it has a little raise in the heel medially. This is probably the best "racing" shoe for overpronators. Its not going to be full protection but probably the best out there for those with who have that issue

[@nubetre]

I did my first marathon in the V1 Prime X, got a couple 20+ mile runs in the first strung, and despite the weight I think this will be a pickup for me once it goes on sale. I’m a bigger runner, 190lbs, so the weight probably wouldn’t hinder me the same way, especially if this still works well for that kind of “set it and forget it” long run situation.

[@PeterChee]

I was so curious what your review + pairings would be for this Prime X2 Strung would be. I never would have tried out the Prime X had it not been for your first review. The gusseted tongue is so much better on this shoe than prior versions. I also really like the width of the shoe too.

I think this version relies more on the bootie style to hold your foot over the actual lacing except for the very top lace holes where you would do the runner knot

[@kit7579]

I wonder if there is an increase in plate stiffness for a larger shoe size. That is probably why every runner has a different experience in terms of efficiency.

[@TimGrose]

There is AFAIK and I read it somewhere. Makes sense as otherwise me in a US 14 shoe having the same plate as somebody in say a 7 is going to flex way more. In this shoe the weight makes it very different. 400g or 14 oz for me. 280g shoes as Kofuzi has here are relatively light for me.

I bought the V2 in both sizes and once again felt I had to go with the 10 the 10.5 felt a tinge wiider but was too long and didn’t get a good lockdown so I would say to be a bit careful with your sizing. Funny thing is I actually returned them at first as the feel was tighter and so stiff that it was cause major heel slippage. 2 Weeks later I was drawn back to the shoe and re-ordered it again in a different color and the fit was actually a bit better for some reason (nothing significant-but enough to make me want to keep them) - I was going to give them the initial run and then i got Noninsertional Achilles Tendinitis and I’m on the shelf for a few weeks if not months. - BUMMER!!!

Some people like $300 chef’s tasting menus. That’s wasted money on me. Some people like $300 shoes for funsies. But others may think it frivolous. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. One man’s pain is another man’s pleasure. The other thing to consider is you have an unstated presumption that higher prices must necessarily mean faster racing. This shoe is a prime example where that is not the case. Doesn’t mean it’s not be worth the price. see examples above.

There's no charm in feeling like im gonna roll my ankles Mike 😅😂 I like the back being a bit more flared but I agree with you that it feels more clunky due to this.

I literally tell brands, “if it feels like you’re going to hurt your ankles, you’re on the right track”
